Section 8 Rental Search

KCHA partners with Emphasys Software and GoSection8.com to help renters in King County find affordable, private-market homes. You can use either site to search for homes based on location, features, and nearby services.

Subsidy Calculator

KCHA's subsidy calculator can help you figure out if the home you want to rent is affordable within the limits of the Section 8 program. It can also give you a sense of how much you would pay each month, and how much KCHA would pay.

Moving with Children

You can help your children do well in school by keeping them at the same school until summer. Research shows that children who change schools during the school year tend not to perform as well as those who do not.
